Reaction Chain

Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or chain:

    Sole and self-commanded works,
    Fears not undermining days,
    Grows by decays,
    And, by the famous might that lurks
    In reaction and recoil,
    Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    From Nature’s chain whatever link you strike,
    Tenth or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
